Executing a bash and a expect script as part of the same process in a container

[balvisio]

Hi all, I am trying to run both a bash script and a expect script sequentially in a container as part of a process. This what I am trying to achieve:

process my_process {
    container "ubuntu:20.04"

    script:
    template "my_script_1.sh"
    template "my_script_2.exp"
}

where my_script_1.sh:

#!/bin/bash
echo hello

and my_script_2.exp:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn ...
...

I have seen that given the code above, the container will only execute the second script only. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any pointer to an example using this pattern would help a lot.

yes, you are right, only the last template is applied

at

nextflow/modules/nextflow/src/main/groovy/nextflow/processor/TaskRun.groovy

Line 661 in 7e8d2a5

def result = code.call()

nextflow parse the block and execute 2 times the 'template' method who resolve the full path to the template but only the last Path is returning (because default groovy nature) and parsed

Thank you for the answer! Is it possible to make the container execute both of them given that one is a bash script and the other an expect script?
